The first time Daniel Pedrosa got on a motorbike was at the age of four and his machine, a motocross Italjet 50, had side-wheels. At the age of six, Dani began racing on minibikes. His first pocket bike was a miniature copy of a street Kawasaki. Other bikes followed, circuits and races with friends, always for fun and not even imagining what was yet to come. It was in 1996 when the ten-year-old Dani entered the Spanish Minibike Championship. Dani began to race on kart circuits all over Spain, always joined by his parents and with the bike in the car trunk. They were also joined by Dani’s little brother, Eric, 5 years younger than Dani, who is taking his first steps in motorbike riding as well. That same year, Dani finished his first race in sixth position, due to a problem with the exhaust pipe of his bike. With the second race came his first podium finish. He liked the experience and decided to enter the same Championship the next year, after finishing second overall in his first season.But he had bad luck and a few days before the 1997 season Dani got chicken pox. The result was that he wasn’t even able to put on the helmet. It was the beginning of the season and given the problem, Pedrosa finished that season eight points behind the leader, in the third overall position. Although Pedrosa managed to get the title in 1998 he still enjoyed racing as a mere hobby. The Aprilia 50 Cup and the Open RACC were popular promotion cups in those days and Pedrosa considered the possibility to enter one of them. But due to the lack of means and support and despite his good results, Dani decided to leave motorbikes aside and to change over to mountain bikes. When he was just about to get the licence to start racing on bicycles, the family heard from a friend that the Movistar Activa Cup, a promotion cup with competition bikes, was being organised. The change from minibikes to racing bikes was huge and Dani was still young, but in early 1999 they decided to send an entry form to take part in the trials that would be held at the Jarama circuit in Madrid. The weekend before the trials Pedrosa learned to ride a bike with a gearbox on an industrial area nearby his home with a borrowed bike. It was his first time on a circuit and he was not only nervous; the bike was so high that his feet didn’t reach the floor. Despite everything, the 13-year-old passed the trials and took part in the Movistar Activa Cup that year finishing in a meritorious eighth position. Of the twenty-five riders taking part in the Cup that year, only three were able to become part of Alberto Puig’s team, who, given Pedrosa's huge potential, included him among the chosen, with Joan Olivé and Raúl Jara. In 2000, Dani took part in the Spanish Championship with the Movistar Junior Team. He finished four of the six races, but took four poles, finishing fourth overall, behind Joan Olivé, Raúl Jara and Toni Elias. It was then when Alberto Puig told him that he was going to take part in the 125cc Motorcycle World Championship. Pedrosa, who was already 14 couldn’t believe it; his dream was coming true. In the first race held in Suzuka, he was among the last riders of the grid and he had never seen so many riders racing together and especially in such a competitive class. He still remembers that he got scared in the first corner, something that never happened again2001 was a learning year for Dani Pedrosa, but even though he managed to take two podiums finishes, a third place in Valencia and another in Motegi. He took the start among the leading riders in several races, and despite having little experience; he rode side by side with well-known riders such as Toni Elias, Manuel Poggiali or Youichi Ui. He finished eighth overall in the Championship. His final third position in the 2002 World Championship, where he had been a title candidate together with Manuel Poggiali or Arnaud Vincent, was the evidence of his tremendous potential. This fact was confirmed by the nine podium finishes and six pole positions he took that year, as well as by his three victories in Assen, Motegi and Valencia. Although he had to settle for the third place, he was considered the most spectacular and combative rider of the class.Dani Pedrosa faced his third season in the 125cc World Championship with serenity, determination and with the aim of clinching the title. During the season, he showed a maturity that would rather be normal for a veteran rider but not for an 18-year-old and he got the reputation of one of the most talented young riders of the sport. He became 125cc World Champion in Malaysia, with two GPS left for the end of the season, after a total of five victories and six podium finishes. Only one week later, misfortune hit the young rider who suffered a hair-rising accident during the practice session of the Australian GP, where he broke both ankles.In 2004, after a hard recovery period and under the protection of Alberto Puig, his mentor and right-hand man, the young rider decided to make the jump to the 250cc class. From the beginning, he considered the season as a season of learning and adapting to the class and not with the aim of fighting for the title. But he surprised everybody right from the first tests of the season. Hard work and dedication, both from the rider himself and the whole team, soon bore fruit. He took the victory of the first race in South Africa after a spectacular fight with De Puniet. He took the class leadership after the Brazilian Grand Prix and he stayed there until the end of the season. He became 250cc World Champion in Australia, in his rookie season in the class, at the age of 19, the youngest in history, fifteen years after Sito Pons. In addition to the seven victories, it was his incredible regularity throughout the year that made him worth the title. The only races he didn’t finish on the podium were Jerez, after crashing under heavy rain and in Estoril and Phillip Island where he finished fourth. With more experience and maturity, Dani Pedrosa faced his second season in the 250cc as the big favourite. The considerable competition he had to face, the adverse weather conditions at the beginning of the season and the shoulder injury he suffered during the practice sessions of the Japanese Grand Prix, turned 2005 into a difficult year for the Repsol rider. Eventually, 51 points were enough to let Alberto Puig’s pupil win his third sceptre on the Australian circuit of Phillip Island, two races before the end of the 2005 season.In the first Grand Prix of the season, staged in Jerez, the reigning World Champion played his role and took his first victory on the Andalusian track. Not a real friend of wet races, Pedrosa had to overcome his fears in 2005, because the weather conditions were bad on several occasions. In Donington and under an intense rain shower, he took a meritorious fourth place, his best result so far on a wet track. The young Repsol rider led the overall standings almost from start to end, and he only left the top spot on the sheets during one Grand Prix, after the flood in Shanghai. Bit by bit, Dani went on increasing his advantage, first over Dovizioso and then over Stoner, having a maximum advantage of 63 points before the Japanese Grand Prix. Motegi was a point of inflection for Dani Pedrosa. Three crashes during the practice sessions undermined both his physical and moral condition. Despite hurting his right shoulder and starting the race with hardly any time to set-up his Honda, his skill and conviction took him to cross the finish line behind the winner of the race, his team-mate Aoyama. He arrived in Malaysia with hardly any time to recover, but he warned his rivals already during the practice. He took the second place on the starting grid but crashed in the second lap after loosing the front end of his bike. First no-score for Dani, something that Stoner, winner of the Malaysian Grand Prix made good use of to close the gap in the overall standings. Still convalescent, Pedrosa worked hard in Qatar and managed to take the fourth place, despite suffering evident problems with his engine. Australia meant the first match ball for Dani, and the Repsol rider didn’t want to loose his first chance. After a good start, Dani knew how to read the race perfectly well. While Stoner crashed in the fourth lap, Pedrosa put himself behind Porto, escaping together with the Argentinean rider on his way to the seventh victory of the season. Nothing but the victory was good to become world champion and Dani overtook the Argentinean rider on the finish line, scoring the 25 points he needed to take his second World Championship title in the 250cc class with two races left for the end of the championship.With the third world championship title in his pocket, the moment had arrived in 2006 to make the decisive jump to the Motorcycle World Championship. It was time to make the debut in the premier class and to get on a MotoGP bike. And which would be the best way to do it, but hand in hand with the best team of the last decade, the Repsol Honda Team? Once again, with the constant help of Alberto Puig, the change of class was planned with all the necessary prudence in the face of such a major challenge, focussing the whole work on learning and adapting to the big difference of a MotoGP bike with more than 240 HP and 150 kilos in weight, compared to a 250cc with some 90 HP and 100 kilos. The hard physical preparation carried out during the winter an a consistent progression during the preseason tests were the prelude to the extraordinary debut in the class, becoming Rookie of the Year thanks to his two victories, six podium finishes and the fifth overall place in the championship.At the first Grand Prix of the year, staged in Jerez, the first glances of Pedrosa’s talent began to dazzle all and sundry. In his first race in the class and at age of only 20 years, he managed to finish in a splendid second position, only a few tenths behind veteran winner Loris Capirossi. After that first race, he continued shining with more or less luck in the following rounds. Despite crashing in the last lap of the Turkish race while fighting for the victory against Melandri and Stoner, he managed to take his first victory in the premier class only fifteen days later. It was at the Grand Prix of China, where he achieved a historical victory, joined on the podium by teammate Nicky Hayden, thus confirming once again, the enormous potential of the Repsol Honda team that would eventually become Teams' World Champion at the end of the season.Race after race, Pedrosa showed the touches of the great future that is expecting him in the class, with passionate duels with Valentino Rossi and Marco Melandri in Germany and the Czech Republic. The season was not even exempt of some doses of drama, such as at the penultimate round of the championship, when Nicky Hayden was racing for a good part of his chances to take the overall title. Having the circuit of Estoril as venue, Dani Pedrosa made a mistake in the fifth lap of the Grand Prix, which ended up with both riders on the tarmac, thus taking the excitement of the championship to the last race in Valencia. At the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Cheste, a great team work of both riders allowed Nicky Hayden to become MotoGP World Champion, the Repsol Honda team to become Teams’ World Champion and Dani Pedrosa to become Rookie of the Year. The perfect highlight for a splendid year.A new challenge is now waiting for Dani Pedrosa in 2007: a change in the MotoGP class that forces constructors to limit the engines to 800cc. After a whole year of experience surrounded by the best riders of the world and with the direct support of the most powerful factory, Dani Pedrosa will face this new season with a motorbike that adapts even better to his riding style and with the clear aim of improving is already brilliant sports career.Dani Pedrosa is now residing in London. Among his hobbies are bicycle riding, something he still enjoys a lot, as well as supermotard, motocross or trial. Outside the world of sports he enjoys going to the movies or spending time with friends. Sometimes he joins them at the disco, but he prefers to amuse himself playing computer games, because, as Dani says those with motorbikes and cars are very realistic, the behaviour of the bike is very similar to that of a real one. A curious fact: Dani learned the circuits on which he races now by heart watching videotapes of 500cc races with Rainey or Lawson. However, his favourite rider has always been Mick Doohan.

don't remember when it happenedI'd get dizzy just thinking about youBecause my thoughts kept stretching, my heart was surprisedIt's a little awkward that I keep saying to you that "it's nothing"and that "my heart's just trifling"

Is this love?And if you feel the same wayis this the beginning?My heart keeps saying it loves you and the more the world listensthe louder it yellsWhy is it just now that I hear it?That the love has been found us so we might be together

Even if I try to explain my feelingsthe only true way to understandwould be to become meand feel themI'm already inside of youjust like you're inside of meI don't know if we've gotten used tothe meaning between us

Is this love?And if you feel the same wayis this the beginning?My heart keeps saying it loves you and the more the world listensthe louder it yells itWhy is it just now that I hear it?That the love has been found us so we might be together

Now that I think about itthere were so many moments of fluttering.I'll make up for all the time lost

I'll be with you and give you only good memoriesso in return you can't leave meEven the slightest momentsmake me feel uneasyStay with me

It wasn't possible, so I believed it wasn't trueMe loving you, these words don't even make senseI'm probably just jealous, I guess I'm getting lonelyI hid my feelings before but I just can't do it anymore

Maybe we are not suited to each otherIt would be good if we are just friendsFrom one to ten, we never agree on anythingHow can we have a relationship?People say we won't be able to do itI've been surrounded by those words and I don't want to be anymore.

I didn't realize how I felt about you,Why couldn't I see? It was right in front of meThat whole time you were right next to meWhy is it now that I finally see that it is love?

I think I love youI think I love you that's how it seemsCause I miss youCause I miss you when you're not aroundI can't do anything except think about youIf I look at how things are I know

I shouldâ€™ve been blind, to keep me from loving youWhy did I see the beauty inside of you?Itâ€™s too late for me, youâ€™ve already spread inside meNo matter how I try to wash and erase you, you spread all over my bodySlowly this pain makes me wearyI straighten my back, trying not to collapseThe world tells me I shouldnâ€™t dreamI donâ€™t be given any hope or love from you

I shouldnâ€™t be able to dream, so my breathing wonâ€™t stopInstead of leaving me here with you, take me awayI didnâ€™t dream, I would be able to liveWhen I start to dream, I start to loveAnd matter all become harder to bearI straighten my back, trying not to collapseThe world tells me I shouldnâ€™t giveI wonâ€™t be given any hope or love from youFrom wanting you so much, I become greedyNow I want to be happyNo matter how I try to give up on youMy eyes always stop when they see you, and dreamSlowly this pain makes me wearyI straighten my back, trying not to collapseThe world tells me I shouldnâ€™t dreamAny hope or loveWonâ€™t be given to me

I didn’t know it was love, it slowly settled upon meWith a smile like the day’s sunlight, you come my way

I thought it might be love, it quietly crept upWith eyes like the moonlight, you’re smiling

I say I want to knowWhen I see you I begin to shake with nervousnessno matter how I try to turn away and tell myself it isn’t trueI’m so in love with youBut in the end, it’s you

I can’t have itbut when I see you, my heart is struck with painNo matter how I erase and forgetI’m left with the words: in the end it wasn’t me

I know now that I’ve become so much like youWhen I see you, I smilePromise you I’ll show you now

I say I want to knowWhen I see you I begin to shake with nervousnessno matter how I try to turn away and tell myself it isn’t trueI’m so in love with youBut in the end, it’s you

I can’t have itbut when I see you, my heart is struck with painNo matter how I erase and forgetin the end it wasn’t me

Smile again, though many things will changelike my appearance and these old memoriessmile again despite the past days of hardshipsI’ve prepared something just for you. I can’t let you go

Can’t you, please, look my way?I’m standing here like this behind youlaughing even though it hurts, smiling even though I’m sadI’m so in love with you, I’m right here

Will you listen now?To these words that I’m carefully taking out?that I try to carefully take outno matter how I try to turn away and say it isn’t trueI’m left repeating these words by myself, stay by my side, stay

No, you’re not the one for meWe don’t fit one anotherFrom the moment I saw you, when you entered my heartYou weren’t the oneYou’re different, don’t look into my eyesMy feelings are confused, they cannot growOh oh You were deeply raised from hateYou laid your roots in the hole you made in my heartI love you, please love meNo, we shouldn’t be like this, we can’t stop this anymore

There’s nothing I can do, I can’t erase you from my heartMy tears fall firstIf I never saw you, no, if I never met youThis pain never would’ve cameI’m sorry for loving you, depending on youI couldn’t help myselfOh oh You were deeply raised hateYou laid your roots in the hole you made in my heartI love you, please love meNo, we shouldn’t be like this, we can’t stop this anymore

I love you, please love meNo, we shouldn’t be like this, we can’t stop this anymore

When I see love, I walk by itWhen I know it’s love, I make an excuseWhen I hear love, I ignore itTo cover my cries, I laugh loudlyLove, is my love that bad?Love brings happiness, but here I am cryingWhy me, why am hurting so much?I’d give everything away, if this love was permitted
